Next week could see a cold beginning with some heavy showers in the north before milder temperatures hopefully return in the following days.

There will still be a risk of frost on Tuesday but there are no signs that the country will see a return to the wintry conditions that hit last month.

Temperatures will remain cool for the first few days with 'feels-like' values of just 5-7C, according to The Weather Channel.

A northerly flow of air will make a brief return to the UK as low pressure cells passing to the north will bring plenty of cloud and rain to northern Britain.

Showers could be heavy at times in the north, but southern and eastern regions should escape the worst of any rain.

More unsettled conditions are likely with outbreaks of rain heading eastwards on Monday with brighter spells following behind any cloud.

The cold beginning to the week will be replaced by a milder westerly air flow as pressure rebuilds on Tueday.

More settled and mild conditions should take charge for the remainder of the week. Pressure should start to build again in the south resulting in milder weather returning but it could still be unsettled in parts of the north.
